SEGA West has confirmed the existence of the much sought after 'Dreamcast Collection' from the publisher and former console maker, to much delight.

Marketing and sales VP of SEGA West, Alan Pritchard, said it's "coming out soon." They had "huge numbers" for the Genesis Collection - it's "important".

"The Dreamcast fans are very devoted. You see on eBay people are still buying the games and system," said Pritchard. Some hope SEGA will return to consoles.

"We actually have a Dreamcast collection coming out soon. We are looking to bring some of the old Dreamcast games to market digitally and packaged." It's a sure thing these Dreamcast gems will be aiming for Xbox 360 and PS3.

"The titles are still to be announced. The Ultimate Genesis Collection did huge numbers on PS3 and 360, so it's an important part of our business. We've already been releasing some Dreamcast games digitally; Crazy Taxi", he said.

Retailers have been whispering early February 2011 for the 'Dreamcast Collection', and it seems ever more likely now. "Unless there's something I don't know - no one has told me about getting back into the console business." That noise you hear? It's sobbing.

Crazy times. If this isn't a hit catalogue, then I don't what would be. I'm hoping some of the good stuff finds it's way to PC.

Actually there were some very good titles for the Dreamcast. It's just that the system didn't perform as advertised (I remember doing the Promos for it for EB Games at the time).
